near to Kilchattan Bay, Argyll And Bute, Great Britain

Conservation work was in progress during our visit. The chancel arch, which separates the part of the church reserved for the clergy NS0953 : The Chancel of the Church from the nave where the lay-people worshipped, is decorated with chevrons and dog-tooth patterns which are typical of 12th century religious buildings. The notice on the ruined wall tells us that the nave was repaired in 1896 by the 3rd Marquess of Bute, and that the architect Robert Weir Schultz inserted a tile-course to show the boundary between the old and new stone-work.
